Context
L’évaluation de la qualité des soins et de la performance de notre système de santé est au coeur de l’actualité. A cette fin, l’utilisation rationnelle d’indicateurs pertinents reste toujours un défi à relever. Dans le cadre limité du monde hospitalier et à partir de leur expérience de terrain, nos orateurs s’attacheront à montrer comment un système d’information hospitalier (HIS) et, en particulier, le dossier patient informatisé peut actuellement aider à construire, enregistrer ou analyser des indicateurs de qualité des soins.
Zorgefficiëntie en zorgkwaliteit alsook de evaluatie er van staan brandend actuele ontwerpen. Vooral het rationeel gebruik van pertinente en betrouwbare indicatoren blijft een uitdaging. De sprekers zullen, op basis van hun eigen ervaring, aantonen hoe een ziekenhuis informatiesysteem (ZIS) en meer bepaald het elektronisch medisch dossier (EMD) kunnen aangewend worden voor identificatie, registratie en analyse van kwaliteitsindicatoren betreffende de zorg.
There is a lot in it! Good work! High expectations!

Definition of quality?
In its seminal 2001 report, Crossing the Quality Chasm: A New Health System for the 21st Century, the IOM defined quality as
"the degree to which health services for individuals and populations increase the likelihood of desired health outcomes and are consistent with current professional knowledge.“
authors used the definition to create STEEEP, i.e., all health care should be
– Safe
– Timely
– Effective (outcome)
– Efficient (proces)
– Equitable
– Patient-centered

Ziekenhuizen doorgelichtKnack 23 februari 2011
Prof Arthur Vleugels:• “wij weten niet wat de kwaliteit van onze ziekenhuizen is”• “We lopen achter op kwaliteitsmeting”• “De ziekenhuiswet van 1963 zegt niets over de processen
en er zijn geen criteria over het resultaat van de zorg.”
Prof Lieven Annemans:• “minder dan 3% van het budget naar informatie en
communicatie technologie tov 4 tot 6% in andere sectoren”
• “ … het bord schoonvegen want we hebben echt een geïnformatiseerd zorgsysteem nodig.”

Vlaamse patiënt krijgt meer transparantie over kwaliteit ziekenhuizenKnack woensdag 01 juni 2011 om 14u26
(Belga) De Vlaamse patiënt moet meer transparantie krijgen over de kwaliteit
van de ziekenhuizen. Dat is het doel van het protocol "Kwaliteitsindicatoren Vlaamse Ziekenhuizen" dat Vlaams minister van Welzijn en Volksgezondheid Jo Vandeurzen (CD&V) woensdag met diverse spelers uit de Vlaamse gezondheidszorg ondertekende. Het finale doel is het verhogen van de kwaliteit van de zorg voor de patiënten.

Alle Vlaamse ziekenhuizen willen tegen 2013 een website realiseren waarop burgers de kwaliteit van de geleverde zorg kunnen vergelijken.
Tegen 2012-2013 plannen de Vlaamse private en openbare ziekenhuizen een website met de medische resultaten van elk Vlaams ziekenhuis.

HopeHospital Information SystemElectronic Patient Record (Medical ea)
Need for • strong ICT department• good ICT tools• strong Business Intelligence cell• good input
rubbish in = rubbish out nothing in = nothing out
Quality management
• How to analyse and interpret?
• Data correct?
• Does it measure what you want to know?
• Good description of the indicator
• What’s the target KPI?
Input and outputdata warehouse
Purpose: managment debate at unit level
• Infrastructure:– Number of beds, occupancy– ADT index: Flow– Case mix– SOI
• Input:– Consumables– Investments
Input and outputdata warehouse
Input: – Personnel:
• staff (nursing)hours per patient day (NHPPD)– Workhour scheduling– Sick leave
• Vacancies/ budget• Turnover: attraction/ retention• Overtime• Education• Meetings
– Patient transport
Voorbeeld deel rapport intern patiëntentransport

Input and outputdata warehouse
Output:– Patient satisfaction– Delivered care: nursing and medical
• MVG/MZG/MKG– KCE points
• Facturation
– Patient outcomes• Nursing Outcomes• Complications• Nosocomial infections• Serious Adverse Events:
– CA, Readmission ICU, Failure to rescue
Input and outputdata warehouse
• Data at hand in multiple ICT applications
• Difficult to extract, not impossible
• Correct definition of indicator– After multidisciplinair consult
• Strong Business Intelligence Cell
• Strong ICT department
• Good ICT tool (f.i. Cognoss)
What’s in it for the Nurse?
• Patient safety and reliability of care– Number of patient observations– MRSA– Pressure Sores– Falls
• Patient satisfaction• Staf wellbeïng• Care efficiency (new to measure)
– Direct patient care time – Number of patients goïng home safe and on time
What’s in it for the Nurse?
Patient records of lower quality showed more unintentional harm

Nurses and doctors have to put their actions in the record! Point of care registration Easy to access Easy to use No extra clerical work to get Indicators Wants electronic patient record that supports good nursing
care not good financing alone (MVG/MZG)
• Decision support– Aggregated scoring systems– Nutrition screening– Risk for Falls– Risk for pressure sores– Delirium
• For management – Annual Report & Feedback– Joint decision making– At this point nurses are not used to data or
indicators regarding their quality of work
What’s in it for the Nurse?
What needs the manager?• Evaluation
– Quality of care (system)– Performance of care (system)
• Challenge– Rational use of indicators– Reliable indicators– Indisputable indicators
• Hope– Hospital Information System– Electronic Patient Record (Medical ea)
• Key Care Quality Indicators– Identification– Registration– Analysis
Remember this one?
What needs the manager?
• Dashboard: – Makes follow-up easy– Evaluation– Tree or forest?
• Pre defined reports
• Annual Report
Example data from warehouse
What needs the manager?
• Analysis: – What does the indicator means?
• Interpretation only possible by meeting the stakeholders
• Peer review, benchmarking– Are the indicators the same and reliable?
What needs the researcher?
Research on nursing conditions in cases of Serious Adverse Events on general wards
• Data not always ready to use• Problem of diversity in measurements difficult
to compare• Problem of accessibility
– f.e. multi-center studies• Quantification of information in patient records• Data extraction• Merging data
Summarized
– Brief overview– Complex, indicators in
• different levels• different goals
– Standardisation of indicators if possible– Helps to objectivate
• Supports dialogue between frontline and management
• Supports improvement
– A long way to go for al parties involved
